MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

26 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 BMW 3 Series (AF54 YSA) between August 2007 and April 2023.

The record contains 15 passes and 11 failures.

The most recent test on 24 April 2023 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 11 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (24 issues), Windscreen (11 issues), Tyres (9 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Suspension (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 27 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Windscreen washer provides insufficient washer liquid (3.5 (a))”; “Rear Brake disc significantly and obviously worn (1.1.14 (a) (i))”; “Offside Rear Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”.
